    Hey, I'm an electronic musician with a huge modular synth rack, 20 vintage drum machines and analog synths, 9 bass guitars with 50 pedals, fully soundproofed studio with a industry standard mixing console and 5 sets of sound monitors etc.

    "Can I hear some of your music?"
    "Sure!"
    "Oop-tss oop-tss oop-tss oop-tss."
    "That music could be made with a weak-end Aldi laptop"
    "No I need all this gear"

    • is this you Autoflavour? ;-)Ianbolton
    • Exactly this! All that equipment and no melody, groove, or creativity...shapesalad
    • the obsession with hoarding equipment is weird but each to their own I guess.fadein11
    • that and never actually finishing a track.fadein11
    • Process more important than outcomedrgs
    • Can it be about the journey rather than the destination? Playing with hardware is infinitely more fun than using a UI on a screen with a mouse.mort_
    • Weatherall said a lot about this, he said by all means make an entire track on your cheap laptop but at least run it through something analogue beforefadein11
    • mastering, I agree with this thinking generally but I have plugins that pretty much do this now anyway.fadein11
    • Never understood the modular thing at all though. That's just a very expensive train set.fadein11
    • This is such a bullshit post / thread.mort_
    • I'm talking about actually finishing and releasing music, not just a fun hobby. If a hobby and you have cash then go ahead. Just saying fetishisingfadein11
    • equipment is pretty much pointless now when releasing music.fadein11
    • Some VST shit is as good as a real life orchestrababydick_
    • Orchestras are pretty much pointless nowmort_
    • hoarding orchestras is impractical and possibly even illegal.fadein11
    • ooofautoflavour
    • ^ what are you oofing about, don't you know 'equipment is pretty much useless now' - wtf fadein, there is no recipe or gear list for producing music.canoe
